Moved reference from article page. olivier 13:05, 10 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Much of the information in these articles comes from the CIA World Factbook 2000 and the 2003 U.S. Department of State website.

I guess there should be seperate articles on São Tomé Island and Príncipe Island as well. And perhaps an reference to the Island of Annobón, Equatorial Guinea since they all belong to the same archipelago.

Can anyone provide a dettailed topografic map of the main island. I know it excists

How do you pronounce the name? Say'oh Toh'may? Sah'eh teh'may?

São is pronounced like "sou" in the word "sound", and Tomé is toh-MAY, rather like Marisa Tomei's last name. — Ливай | ☺ 02:15, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed WikiProject

In my ongoing efforts to try to include every country on the planet included in the scope of a WikiProject, I have proposed a new project on Middle Africa at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Middle Africa whose scope would include Sao Tome and Principe. Any interested parties are more than welcome to add their names there, so we can see if there is enough interest to start such a project. Thank you for your attention.

[edit] Islam in São Tomé and Príncipe

I propose that the contents of Islam in São Tomé and Príncipe be incorporated with the São Tomé and Príncipe article. The information in the article totals one paragraph, so I deem the article a bit redundant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.135.117.94 (talk) 02:54, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

> The article don't need more information about Islam because it already have it and is sufficient, it's just an atypical phenomena caused by a sudden immigration wave of nigerian citizens.

[edit] Removed possible vandalism

I'm calling this "possible vandalism." I found the following unsourced sentence at the end of the article:

São Tomé and Príncipe is a major contributor of internet traffic to the weblog of New York Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes - between 500 and 999 visits a day!! Phil Hughes' weblog

I'm hesitant to call it outright vandalism because it may well be true and may well have been posted by a well-meaning individual, but it doesn't seem notable and isn't sourced. I'm putting it here for safekeeping. If we want to include it, we'll need to demonstrate its notability and give it a source other than Phil Hughes's blog (in accordance with no original research). —CKA3KA (Skazka) (talk) 20:02, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] São Tomé & Príncipe - former no. 1 cocoa producer?

It has been suggested to me (IFAD personal communication) that São Tomé and Príncipe (STP) was once the world's largest cocoa producer—1930s, maybe around 30,000 tonnes/year. Can anyone confirm this or advise a reference to global or STP historical cocoa production? Many thanks—GRM (talk) 09:23, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
